Artist Statement: This painting originally was a batik with embroidery in 1970 for my first born daughter. Over the years the batik faded and the work ended up in the basement for 35 years. In 2020 I came across it and decided to restore it by using acrylic paint to cover the batik and leaving the embroidery in place. The little boy now reminds me of my youngest little grandson called Ben, who will inherit “Benito.”
